Abstract

In recent years, the integration of digital technology in education has become increasingly prevalent, with many institutions adopting e-learning tools to enhance the teaching and learning experience. Such practice was intensified with the kickoff of the pandemic in 2020 when most, if not all, educational institution around the world were forced to come up with a more innovative technique in teaching to continue learning. Schools and universities, be it private or public, opted to shift to online education. This study seeks to the variations in the technological gadgets and e-learning tools in the teaching of physical education classes through identification, chi-square testing, and Focus Group Discussion using the Replacement and Amplification of (RAT) Framework. Specifically, it examines the availability of these resources in different types of universities and investigates their effectiveness in promoting student engagement and improving pedagogical practices while exploring the differences between digital gadgets and e-learning tools and their availability in universities, with a specific focus on the effectiveness of teaching of physical education classes. The findings indicate that the types of digital gadgets (X2, 57.793, df=8), p <.000 <.05) and e-learning tools (X2, 63.36, df=19, p <.001 <.05) used by the students vary depending on the type of university- whether private or public, due to the accessibility for the students, and the popularity of the tools and apps. Furthermore, the use of e-learning tools is beneficial in enhancing pedagogical practices in physical education classes and promoting student engagement in learning tasks because of their benefits. Additionally, the study recommends further research on the use of these tools in the new educational landscape.
